You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Fantastic Location! Directly above river w/a 5 minute walk to downtown.
This one-of-a-kind home on a tucked-away street has a location that can't be beat -- a stone's throw from the First Street Rapids Park, an easy walk to downtown, and quick access to the Bend Parkway.
With a warm and friendly vibe, the newly remodeled property has two bedrooms and two baths, sleeping up to four guests. The main floor includes a welcoming entry, cozy living room, laundry/storage room, a bedroom, bathroom, and the all-new sunny and bright kitchen -- a welcoming, well-equipped space. A large pantry/closet, right off the kitchen, has space for storing coolers, picnic supplies, food items and more. Upstairs, the master suite -- with bedroom, bath and balcony -- provides its own little getaway, and a peekaboo view of the river.
The front yard, just outside the kitchen door, provides an inviting space to gather, dine, enjoy a drink or relax with a book. From here you can see, hear and feel the Deschutes river as it makes its way through town. There are also a couple great swimming holes with large rocks to kick back only seconds away. Around the side of the house you will find another, more secluded, patio space.
Walk down the steps at the end of the street to the First Street Rapids Park. Cast your fishing line into the river from a large boulder at river's edge. Turn right on the path and take the footbridge that crosses over the river to the Aubrey Butte River Trail. Turn in the opposite direction along the river path and walk to downtown Bend -- just a short walk away!
To venture beyond downtown, take the parkway just outside the neighborhood, to numerous points of interest in town and beyond -- Mt Bachelor Ski Resort, fabulous mountain lakes, hiking and biking trails, beautiful golf courses and many more of the attractions that make Bend such a popular destination.

We enjoyed our stay. The home was very comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. It was nice to be located near Deschutes River where we enjoyed our walks and could walk into the downtown along the nicely maintained trail.
Can not say enough about this sweet house close to town and easy acess to highways. Bright, comfortable, clean, well-appointed. Owners very communicative and kind. Will definitely stay here again!!
Perfect location right on the river trail. House is well appointed with one of the best kitchen set ups we’ve had in a rental. Eric was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Can’t recommend highly enough!
Absolutely loved everything about our stay at this immaculate home. From the decor to the cleanliness , it was perfect. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and the plants in the home made me happy every time I looked at them. Beds were super comfy. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the Bend area.
We had a fantastic time at this house in Bend, it is even better than the pictures! The house was close to all the places we wanted to visit and had everything we need to prepare the meals we made in. It was so nice to be close to the river and walk down in the mornings. We will definitely look here first when coming back to visit!
Interior is clean and well kept. Very nice space for a group, kitchen is great! Driveway fits a lot of vehicles if needeed. It is close to the river, so a short walk to go swimming!
We were so impressed with this place. All amenities were in great condition and plentiful. Just a very comformatable place to stay, inside and out. Very clean, all appliances are top of the line and appear fairly new. The location was perfect, and access to the walking trail at the Deschutes River is roughly a 50 yard walk. We had a wonderful time, and highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Bend.
Better than the pictures. Beautiful kitchen with tons of natural light. Sweet little yard. Stones throw to the river. Gorgeous surroundings and stunning sunsets from primary balcony. Walked the river to town and had an amazing breakfast at Lemon Tree. Great location.
This property was even nicer than the pictures! We were very comfortable, and we appreciated the attention to detail that the owners provided. The location was perfect in relation to getting around town and the close river access was very much appreciated for both walking and biking. We liked how quiet this neighborhood was. No doubt about it...we WILL be staying here again! Thank you!
Great location just a short walk to the river where you can find a great spot to enjoy the water. The house is perfect for 2 couples and has a great front yard to hang out. It’s in a very quiet neighborhood so word of advice, if you invite others over to hang out for their Birthday that aren’t staying with you, make sure they keep the volume and antics under control and are respectful to others.
This is a beautifully decorated, very comfortable and clean 2 BR, 2 BA house right by the river. This was our second stay at this wonderful house and it won't be the last. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped for cooking. The side yard is perfect for dining al fresco. The house is so peaceful and inviting you won't want to leave. The communication with the manager/owners was great. Don't hesitate to book!
This property is located right off 97 and very close to downtown but feels like it is tucked back in a private corner of Bend. The house itself was extremely clean and well maintained. Our hosts were very communicative, friendly, welcoming and really went out of their way to make sure we had everything we need. I can honestly say that this property is one of the best (if not THE best) that we've stayed at. We will definitely be booking again next time we are in the area! Thank you again to Dena and Eric for letting us stay in their home, we had a great time in Bend and on Mt. Bachelor!
